Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Hunter: A.

Call it larceny. Jarquez Hunter sat on the board until pick No. 220, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In the end it comes back to James Pearce Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 14 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick No. 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 69th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at slot 103 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zy Alexander at the 106th pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Somehow Tai Felton was still sitting there in pick 117, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They barely believed it either: Dorian Strong still on the board at Round 5, Pick 3. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They liked Carson Vinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
They robbed the room for Jarquez Hunter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Fair-plus on Cam Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 239 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
